Fusionex International is pleased to announce that founder Ivan Teh has been recognized by Forbes as a key figure in the Malaysian Big Data World. The Fusionex founder and Managing Director are linked to an ASEAN-based software group, which provides solutions to firms opening up to digital transformation, in order to compete effectively in the global marketplace. Ivan Teh is well-acquainted with the struggles and difficulties associated with the start-up scene. Founders may be unable to pay themselves for many months and must work around the clock to beat the statistics.

Thanks to Teh’s perseverance, Fusionex today is reaping the benefits of creating its own software solutions. The main focus of the company is Big Data Analytics (BDA) and the Internet of Things (IoT). BDA uses advanced software coupled with massive computing power. The software examines data of various types in order to determine real patterns, associations, and trends. IoT provides sensors which have connectivity across networks, permitting them to collect data and exchange it.

According to Teh, speaking in an interview recently, “I understood what the market required in BDA and IoT, thanks to my previous experience working in multinational firms. There was a huge wave of data building up from the past few years, and effective methods of utilizing the data were needed. Through repeated attempts at solutions development and many long days, I was able to secure paying customers. My role in the company originally encompassed everything from administrative and managerial tasks to coding.”

The expectations for the use of BDA and IoT are promising ones. By 2019, the BDA market is expected to reach US$187 billion, while the IoT market will expand to US$1.7 trillion by 2020. Fusionex is positioned to capture a large portion of this market, particularly among the ASEAN nations.

Fusionex already has big-name clients using its software. Companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Daimler, Volkswagen, the Royal Bank of Scotland, United Overseas Bank, CIMB Group, MetLife and Starwood Hotels and Resorts as well as AirAsia, Kasikornbank and Resorts World are but a few examples. In fact, Fusionex, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM), has the distinction of competing with the likes of IBM, Oracle, and SAP. http://www.nbcrightnow.com/story/38616520/fusionex-founder-ivan-teh-featured-in-forbes

Fusionex, a multi-award-winning, leading software solutions provider specializing in Big Data Analytics (BDA), the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning, has been awarded a contract of significant value with Malaysia Airlines Berhad (“MAB”) to provide a group-wide data management platform that will increase work efficiency and ease of communications within its group.

MAB seeks to address the challenges encountered by its thousands of employees to work and communicate efficiently. With millions of travelers flying on MAB every month to almost 60 destinations, MAB requires a scalable platform to cope with the volume as well as complexity of data and information gathered, in MAB’s bid to better serve its customers and staff.

The platform will allow for collaboration within the company and also facilitates messaging and information sharing between employees. With all employees using the same platform, any communication, whether textual, imaging etc. would be accessible quickly and easily.

Apart from work purposes, the platform will allow employees to participate in leisure activities for an optimized work-life balance to be achieved. An enterprise social network feature will be deployed for employees to use as a social collaboration tool, in line with MAB’s objective to promote a strong and united corporate community.

Dato’ Seri Ivan Teh, Fusionex CEO, commented: “This initiative is applauded as it is targeted to bring Malaysia Airlines’ corporate performance to greater heights, as well as to foster closer communication among MAB employees. Coordinating thousands of employees with a huge amount of data across the globe is no small feat. This win showcases the vast potential for data management and data technology to empower a variety of sectors including aviation towards digital transformation, and we are delighted to be a part of this journey with Malaysia Airlines.” https://www.nst.com.my/business/2018/02/332209/fusionex-wins-mab-data-management-contract
